Stolen puppy reunited with owner nearly 3 months after he went missing

Tank the pit bull was a mere eight weeks old back on September 28, when he was taken from his owner by two male suspects. The owner had advertised the pup for potential sale online, and had arranged to meet the interested party at Fleetwood Park, according to the Surrey RCMP.

At the meet-up, one male suspect grabbed Tank from her arms and ran away with him while the second punched her in the face and took her cellphone.
